The concept A thousand and this night! Our concept is inspired from the collection of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights , from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment . The work was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across the world. Our theme implies that this IS THE NIGHT for a person that wants his/her five senses to experience the mystique and magic of the Arab culture....
When approaching the gate, the guests will see the white sheets like a tend, with two torches on the sides.
A treat with a cup of tea or coffee at the entrance is ideal.
Torches are showing the way to the parking place
The guest is surprised by the setting
Low tables full of Arabic dishes will be waiting
Poetry One Thousand and One Nights is a medieval folk tale collection which tells the story of Scheherazade a Sassanid queen who must relate a series of stories to her malevolent husband, King Shahryar to delay her execution. The stories are told over a period of one thousand and one nights, and every night she ends the story with a suspenseful situation, forcing the King to keep her alive for another day. Our guest will have the chance to listen to the insights of that story by a narrator with Arabic music on the background. The narrator then will read a poem of that selection.
Connections between Cyprus and Cyprus cultures The narrator will refer to some important connections between the two cultures like architecture, food, folklore dances etc.
When dinner is finished guests will move to the amphitheatre where the well known Greek-Egyptian singer Dakis will sing few Arabic & Greek songs
Entertainment While having dinner guests will enjoy a show of belly dancers, flame-throwers and Debkeh Dancing by our professional Lebanese Dancing Group flown in from Beirut especially for our event
